Important Message From Woo Wang Dental

To our valued patients,

We hope this message finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing at Woo Wang Dental has remained the same: our constant commitment to your safety.

As you have surely seen during your visits to our office, infection control has always been a top priority for our practice. Our strict processes have consistently made the care you receive with us both safe and comfortable.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We continue to closely monitor the recommendations of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.

We have also added to our stock of personal protective equipment including masks, face shields, and gowns, as well as medical-grade air purifiers for each operatory.

When it is time for your next appointment, you may see some changes along with our already strict infection control protocols. For example:

• Our office will communicate with you ahead of your appointment to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
• When entering the office, we will check each patient’s temperature with a touchless forehead thermometer and ask you to use hand sanitizer which we will supply. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
• You may see that our reception area will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and other items which cannot be properly disinfected. You are encouraged to bring your own iPad, reading materials, etc.
• Should you choose, you may wait in your car and be texted when we are ready to bring you directly to the treatment area.
• Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered slightly limited options for scheduling your appointment.
• We will do our best to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the office at any one time.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our Kensington office at 301-933-1833 and our Gaithersburg office at 240-683-3833 or visit our website at www.woowangdental.com.

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends in the safest way possible.

Sincerely,
Dr. Kenneth Woo, Dr. Edmond Woo and Dr. Ho Kai Wang
